welcome back it's a whole. this is. our report calls on washington to own up to the vietnam war legacy the deadly chemical agent orange which it has denied for decades. three ethnic chechens arrested by french police have been charged with helping links to a terror network. seeing a double a new bollywood film starring with laughton spitting image takes a humorous look at the post nine eleven world. objects here on our talk to veteran hollywood actor danny glover like many celebrities that lethal weapon styles been using the clout of his style status to bring about change.

actor and activist danny glover is just as well known for his acting skills as for his activism taking on some of the most important political issues of our time and sometimes even getting into trouble for it well the actor joins me today to talk politics and pop culture anything he's so much for being here you went from you know making headlines about your films to making headlines about your political activities you know we solve danny glover arrested in washington d.c. danny glover arrested in maryland but you know most people know you as the actor you know the character a lot of different characters how do you sort of bring those two things together you're acting on your activism because you have said time and again that you consider yourself a cultural producer what do you mean by that well first of all the first thing i see myself is as a citizen. with a we think of myself as a citizen of the united states or more broadly as

a citizen of the world this certainly there is certain responsibilities to that role that we played as citizens so i don't abdicate that responsibility just because i'm visible or just because people though me specific grows you know if they knew me by simply mcdevitt when i did mandela twenty four years ago then they would expect a certain kind of behavior from me by that bad nature the role that that i play everything evolves out of that response that i believe that is necessary as a citizen comes in a much in some sort of most large a context to simply as someone who acts so it may be that also that the work that i do in producing is acting in films that also reflect that the concerns that i have reflects the values that i have as a citizen but his suit says this all that the idea as an artist. exploring the human dynamics but as a citizen of understanding my role in playing in the democracy and in the process

we have voices need to be heard at this particular point in time a countless issues with those issues in terms of the environment and climate change with the issues of the terms of war peace with those issues reframe frame around justice justice is issues of economic justice as social justice voices a citizen of wherever we are need to be heard we have an economic downturn supposedly it's supposed to be reversing itself and there's a slow to be a robust economy but we see on the other hand that people still losing jobs the job market is still depressed we see that people still losing their homes we see the people still losing health care they are in the bill in the bill or the to provide food health. is a fruitful hit for their children on important things that happen we see that a client in the educational system itself in the meaning of education eccentric

subject so what we see here though is this friction that is happening as a result of this now you mentioned friction earlier and speaking of taking to the streets that's happening right now in oakland california you know not too far from where you are of course it has an oscar grant and the conviction of involuntary manslaughter versus murder which is what oscar grant's family and his supporters wanted this cop to be convicted of you have about one hundred people arrested up to a thousand protesting on the street what do you make of this case and if you were in california right now would you would you be joining them with the tragedy of this situation is that this is an expression of long pent up anger a resolve situation between law enforcement and the community yeah idea of a murder conviction does that really change the dynamics that is happening in oakland right now. i beg to differ with that if there had been the conviction if that we begin to address to release shoes in terms of respect the release shoes

that they create the kind of response that guy would have the guy would have in terms of being his position how does he see him so is governed by attitudes that he has had that have been developed over a period of time you know and this is consistent what we have is here is a situation tragic situation in the sense that even the guy idea of this transit police not a real policeman a trance a policeman a police kills a man and at the same time he people expect some sort of some sort of retribution from that expects some sort of justice from that and the justice is how we deal with the system and so that creates this the circumstances that we fight that that we five both of them the victim and the perpetrating it well the family's lawyer john burris said that this was a compromised verdict he said quote the system is a rarely fair when a police officer shoots an african-american male no true justice has been given so

what you have here is obviously a racial tension and a lot of folks would say now more than ever it should have been heightened by certain political parties or perhaps media outlets and you yourself have called george w. bush a racist we now have a black president in the white house but in terms of situations like this has anything changed well this was about say that the position of a president is nominal position within the system itself a system has a set of. values a system that is governed by a set of objectives and the set set of interests and those interests are not changeable that drastically within an eight year period with our four year period which is a single term so i think the expectations of this president's a little overblown the fact is that we give too much chris. it to the president when something cosby says and then we give too much damn in too much when something

fails let's talk about some of the issues that have caused you to protest to demonstrate you have been opposed to the iraq war from the very beginning and throughout the presidential campaign you actually supported john edwards in the primaries and then you shifted your support to barack obama brock obama was also against the iraq war but even throughout his campaign said that the necessary war was again a stand and he followed through with his promise to ask ali the war in afghanistan what do you think about that that that is now sort of shaping u.s. foreign policy at the moment the war is in afghanistan is something that we're all concerned about because the visible case of pakistan and the fact that the war is most people can see it in most of those people who are military analysts is an unwinnable war you said this is a war that we're all concerned about but you don't really see you know the kind of

activism that you saw during the vietnam era you don't see the kind of activism that you see here out parts of europe while why do you think that is no one seems to be speaking up the way that they did before why is that is that alec tronic apathy are people just indifferent to it have they lost faith i mean what is it that people will sit you know on their couches and complain but they won't go out they won't do what you do they won't take to the streets. we're talking about two different moments in the sense. that we look at the vietnam war. there were a sense of change. in so many ways during the period before and leading up to the vietnam war from the civil rights movement to women's rights movement all those fall into that kind of. social as a social dynamic we saw through. to our lives. well a vision we saw through we saw the examples of the expansion of ideas you know we

saw in the maison illogical demit you have that we saw countries receiving their own independent children young people don't have that legacy let's talk about your relationship with venezuelan president hugo chavez you seem to have a different opinion of him then than many folks in america do you have praised him time and again i believe you have it had a meeting with him back in two thousand and six what about chavez appeals to you well first of all i consider. the president hu chavez my fridge. and certainly and that lie about the things that i talk about in the world and that he talks about in the world on his talk preciously about the country that i love of people often considered me a descendant of and from a i.e.d. something very special to me in so when i talk to the present about haiti he understood there was a fundamental relationship that latin america and spectacle even as

a way into and the boulevardier revolution had to i.e.d. well speaking of haiti a chavez contributed eighteen million dollars to fund one of your film projects to a song. about the slave uprising in haiti you know this this isn't just anger people in the u.s. a lot of venezuelan filmmakers were angry and said look this is this is money that we could have used you know to fund our own films our own economy in venice well how do you how do you reply to that one when you see that headline that says danny glover takes money from venezuelan president hugo chavez to fund his own i'm not someone who. was afraid of criticism in some way. if we were able to digest and deconstruct what the proposal was the proposal would have had enormous benefits i believe have been as well as well it doesn't mean i was the part of a budget that would have been able it would have been as much as perhaps thirty five media that instead of the sixty the other twelve to fifteen seventeen me would

have to be and i would have to come up with you know the reason why this underline this week when the reason why we were able to get the project off the ground was specifically i couldn't raise the rest of the money why do you think that it was because it's a black story it's a story about africans it's a story about people of color here in the twenty and twenty first century why is this story had not been told choices a made about what's being it was seen and was not seen hopefully at some point in time. because the story at the u.s. social forum you said it's time for people to reclaim their country yet what do you mean by that and was clear i mean the choice is clear and how do you claim that you can claim that by recreating new relationships and new systems of how you can change the world and change your personal whether it's how you grow food with a z how you deal with youth violence whether it's how you how you how you deal with

it with the issues that plague our communities housing always the tickler whitley's is how you mobilize communities you know how you create jobs sustainable jobs you know those are the kind of course of it we have to ask the real question is essentially it reclaiming your community is reclaiming the right to exist thank you so much for your time i think it. sure is the same i understand not going to feel my son like that would be if you look at my years in the market well he's castro's appearance on cuban television for years again puts into focus the money. that are killing innocent kids oh i think that base of course and that's never and said.

something that's cost me i think of it every day. i still have the flashbacks trouble to memorise. so much so long time i'm just here trying to. i was afraid. i was ashamed that i had been. i was ashamed that i hadn't been a hero why. i got my arm i got my legs. i knew what i was going to be our nominee was a model for the. now believe what i was going i was or i think. that i was a good soldier. but now i'm most older on the other side and i think i'm just not good.

a report called on washington to own up to the vietnam war legacy of the deadly chemical agent orange which it has denied for decades. three ethnic chechens arrested by french police have been challenged with having links to a terror that was. seeing double the new bollywood film starring been spitting image takes a humorous to the post nine eleven world. it's how they felt. hello and welcome thanks for joining our sports round up on a tough subject and here is what's coming up in the program diego maradona and i could stay in charge of the argentine national team for the next four years.
